Hey, FYI, I just got this while pushing a package: remote: Traceback (most recent call last): remote: File "/usr/bin/aurweb-notify", line 11, in <module> remote: load_entry_point('aurweb==4.7.0', 'console_scripts', 'aurweb-notify')() remote: File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/aurweb-4.7.0-py3.6.egg/aurweb/scripts/notify.py", line 541, in main remote: File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/aurweb-4.7.0-py3.6.egg/aurweb/scripts/notify.py", line 69, in send remote: File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/aurweb-4.7.0-py3.6.egg/aurweb/scripts/notify.py", line 56, in get_body_fmt remote: File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/aurweb-4.7.0-py3.6.egg/aurweb/scripts/notify.py", line 192, in get_body remote: File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/aurweb-4.7.0-py3.6.egg/aurweb/l10n.py", line 14, in translate remote: File "/usr/lib/python3.6/gettext.py", line 514, in translation remote: raise OSError(ENOENT, 'No translation file found for domain', domain) remote: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No translation file found for domain: 'aurweb' Seems to still work, though.

[aur-general] acroread package compromised
by Queen Wenceslas 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

Hi all, The acroread AUR package appears to have been compromised: look at https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=acroread&id= b3fec9f2f16703c2dae9e793f75ad6e0d98509bc (and in particular that curl|bash line!). Not exactly sure who to contact, but I assume someone on this list can get things sorted out. Cheers, qwence

[aur-general] PKGBUILD for Automatic Arch System Maintenance
by Michael Dobachesky 07 Jul '18

07 Jul '18

Hello everyone, I have been working on a package that automatically does Arch Linux system maintenance tasks like updating, cleaning, error checking, etc. It has really helped me out and I am hoping that it will help out others as well. Development has gotten to the point where I feel comfortable releasing the first official version, so I have prepared a PKGBUILD for it. I have not published any packages to the AUR in the past so, as per the suggestions on the Arch Linux AUR Wiki, I am submitting the PKGBUILD to the AUR mailing list for review. Here is a link to the PKGBUILD: https://gitlab.com/mgdobachesky/ArchSystemMaintenance/raw/master/PKGBUILD Thank you all for your time, Michael Dobachesky

[aur-general] pkgrel - Is it correct that some "fixes" aren't "fixes"?
by Ralf Mardorf 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

Hi, see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dh-make/ for "The fix of the source url was neither a fix...". Is it correct that some "fixes" aren't considered as being "fixes", so that the pkgrel shouldn't increase? Regards, Ralf

[aur-general] upgrade of "conf.d/*.conf"-style packages containing example configs
by J. Konrad Tegtmeier-Rottach 31 May '18

31 May '18

Hi, I've run into a general issue with software packages that use a configuration directory, aggregate configs therein using a glob rule on the filenames, and contain an example config. An example is `community/consul`, which - globs for `/etc/consul.d/*.{hcl,json}` - contains `/etc/consul.d/example.json` When I configure these types of software first I delete the example file, and then place additional configs in that directory, with everything working as expected. Then an upgrade for that package rolls around, and the example config is recreated. This usually means that as soon as the software reloads, the recreated example config gets loaded, too, and the software tends to fail or behave in byzantine ways. After consulting the wiki about this [0], I had assumed that this is the "original = X, current = Y, new = X" case and the example config shouldn't be recreated, but it seems deletion isn't handled the same as modification here. (.pacnew files aren't an issue since the glob rule is in place) What is the proper way to deal with these example configs? Truncate them to force the XYX upgrade case, which seems hacky? Set `NoUpgrade` [1] in the PKGBUILD, assuming this is applicable here? I ask this here because my `aur/nomad-bin` package has this exact problem.

[aur-general] Packaging all CRAN packages for R
by Alex Branham 31 May '18

31 May '18

Hi all - I'd like to use pacman to manage R packages, similar to how you can for other languages (e.g. the python packages are all named python-*). There are some packages available already, but not many (I count about 130 currently). I wrote a script[1] that generates PKGBUILDS for all the packages on the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN). There's 12,593 packages on CRAN as of today. If you evaluate the script, then call write_all_pkgbuilds(), R will put each PKGBUILD into PKGBUILDS/r-cran-<pkgname>/PKGBUILD. Here's an example of the output.[2] It doesn't generate .SRCINFO or setup a git repo (yet). It also doesn't take into account (yet) that there are already 130ish R packages on the AUR. I named them r-cran-* rather than r-* because 1) it's clearer where the packages are coming from and 2) it's a pain to search for r-* Is this something people would like to have in the AUR? I figured I should ask before adding ~12.5k packages. Any and all comments/feedback appreciated!

[aur-general] TU resignation
by Pierre Neidhardt 31 May '18

31 May '18

I've stopped using Arch ever since I've switched to GuixSD[1] (a functional-oriented distribution focusing on reproducible builds and completely custimizable in Guile Scheme) and it's now quite clear that there will be no coming back. My involvement in this new project and in others (Emacs, Next Browser[2]) takes a lot more time than what I can afford into maintaining my Arch packages. I have a bunch of out-of-date packages in [community]: - emms - qutebrowser - udiskie - uncrustify Other [community] packages: - catdvi - ccrypt - dtach - fzf - gtypist - mu (A user requested that we built msg2pdf as part of the package) - pdfjs (optional for qutebrowser) - pstotext - python-keyutils (required by udiskie) - python-pypeg2 (require by qutebrowser) - tcc - trash-cli - xcape - xss-lock And on the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?K=Ambrevar&SeB=m I hope the Arch community keeps up with the good work!

Mattatobin, of which you can read here https://github.com/jasperla/openbsd-wip/issues/86 Have made this (edited) comment in the AUR webpage asking for removal https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/basilisk You do realize this package is completely insane. I want you to remove any remaining Basilisk branding and use of the name including in the desktop file and this very package from AUR that you are obviously squatting on.

[aur-general] [PATCH] upgpkg: qutebrowser 1.3.0-1
by Jay Kamat 22 May '18

22 May '18

Hi, The qutebrowser package in community has been behind for quite a while, and unfortunately it fails to start on qt 5.11, so it would be nice to have it bumped before that happens. I noticed that the install fails when bumping the version, due to adding a PREFIX variable instead of hardcoding /usr: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/pull/3844 Per the packaging standards here, this should be /usr/ instead of /usr/local, so I changed it back, and it seems to work properly again: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_packaging_standards Here is the finished patch. Let me know if anyone sees any issues, this is my first time working with arch packaging. -Jay I sent this email to the list before subscribing, please don't approve that one, as I resent it here.

[aur-general] Advice needed on bundling a specific Python library
by Simon Perry 15 May '18

15 May '18

Hi all, I'm the maintainer of pyfa [1][2], a tool for EVE Online players. I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to include an arbitrary version of a Python library into the package? The problem is that the current version of python-wxpython in community has a bug that causes the latest version of pyfa to crash, and the pyfa developers have set a hard requirement of wxPython == 4.0.0b2 [3] (the issue will apparently by fixed in 4.0.2). What's the best or most elegant way to handle this? The only thing I can think of is using pip to install this version into my $pkgdir and setting PYTHONPATH in the startup shell script to force pyfa to use the bundled version. However, I'm not sure of this and would like any pointers or better a better way to handle it. Cheers.

[aur-general] Deletion of discord-updater{,-canary}?
by Morgan Adamiec 10 May '18

10 May '18

discord-updater is quite a confusing package to me. I'm not sure is I should file a deletion request for it. When discord needs an update it will refuse to start until it is updated. This package appears to be designed to download the latest discord .tar.gz and extract it to ~/.local. By passing the need to wait for updates on the main discord AUR package. My question here is does this count as a duplicate to discord? And even if it does not should this really be in the AUR in the first place? It is just a simple script really. For future reference I would appreciate if anyone can tell me the correct place to send this sort of thing. Here, to aur-requests or type it into the request box on the AUR page. Also on a similar topic, the package discord-always-canary was removed from the AUR by Eschwartz. This package is essentially discord-canary with a pkgver() function. Meanwhile firefox-always-nightly is still on the AUR and is essentially the same idea. Is there a reason the discord-always-canary can not exist, similar to pkg and pkg-git? I get they comparison is not exactly the same because both discord packages source stable versions. Instead would it be a good idea to add a pkgver() function to the main discord packages? As mentioned discord will refuse to start when out of date, so most users are stuck waiting for the maintainer to update it.

[aur-general] Taking over Discord-PTB
by Morgan Adamiec 01 May '18

01 May '18

Hi, a week ago i submitted an orphan request for Discord-PTB https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/discord-ptb/. It finally got accepted but the co-maintainer 'discordapp' got set as the maintainer so I can not adopt this package. As far as I know 'discordapp' is an account owned by one of the Discord devs, I believe it's just there in case they need it, the account does not seem to actively do anything nor reply to comments. I would hate to wait another week for an orphan request to go through, is there a way this could be bypassed as I did just wait a week?

[aur-general] git package policy
by Ralf Mardorf 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

Hi, I wonder if I'm too picky. Each time a new git commit is available, the pkgver of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk-theme-macos-sierra-archers-git/ gets increased, while nothing else changes. IMO it should stay untouched unless the dependencies, URL, sources, etc. change and perhaps if it's required to build against an updated lib, too. Regards, Ralf -- pacman -Q linux{,-rt{-pussytoes,-securityink,-cornflower,}}|cut -d\ -f2 4.16.2-2 4.14.34_rt27-1 4.14.29_rt25-1 4.14.28_rt23-1 4.14.24_rt19-1

[aur-general] Build packages without Arch on pkgbuild.com
by Pierre Neidhardt 09 Apr '18

09 Apr '18

I've recently written a paragraph on how to build Arch Linux packages on pkgbuild.com (a.k.a. soyuz): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Trusted_User_Guidelines#Remote_bui… To perform the complete operation on soyuz, we need to forward the gpg-socket (and the SSH socket if different) to soyuz, which defeats the PGP / Web of Trust security model: for a person with root access to soyuz, the private key is only one passphrase away. Thoughts? As I understand it for now, the full-PGP way to package on soyuz is to only run extra-x86_64-build there. All other operations can be run locally. The only area where I'm left in the dark is the "archrelease" step of "communitypkg": what's the equivalent on a foreign distribution? -- Pierre Neidhardt

[aur-general] Attempt to upload llvm35 to AUR gets rejected
by Albert Graef 08 Apr '18

08 Apr '18

The llvm35 package recently got kicked from extra, but I need it for my Pure package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pure/) which in turn is needed for a bunch of other packages I maintain in the AUR. So I resurrected llvm35 from extra, brushed it up a little so that it compiles again (also bumped the package revision), and tried to upload it to the AUR under the previous package name llvm35. All I get is: Writing objects: 100% (8/8), 4.76 KiB | 2.38 MiB/s, done. Total 8 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0) remote: error: package already provided by []: llvm35 remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master To ssh://aur.archlinux.org/llvm35.git ! [remote rejected] master -> master (hook declined) error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/llvm35.git' My version of the PKGBUILD is available here: https://bitbucket.org/agraef/llvm35-pkgbuild It's a split package, but isn't that supposed to be supported by the AUR? Anything else wrong with it? Any help appreciated, many thanks in advance.

[aur-general] [PRQ#11055] Deletion Request for dnscrypt-proxy-go | [PRQ#11056] Deletion Request for dnscrypt-proxy-go-git
by Jordan Glover 05 Apr '18

Can we get more explanation for this? This isn't a version bump. This project was rewritten from scratch, the old sources are gone. The PKGBUILD was written from scratch, packagement solutions were upstreamed[1]. Upstream points specifically to this package[2]. Archlinux repo maintainer wasn't involved at all with those and there is no info if he's interested in maintaining the new v2 version.
